Fridays. Freedom is close. It's almost the weekend. You can taste it and feel it in the air. The anticipation of two days of no school. As kids we loved it. As a teacher I dread it.
Not really. I still love it but I dread the students realizing that it is Friday.
On Fridays my kids are tired of being in school. They are tired of being told what to do and having to stand in line and be quiet in the hallway and no you cannot play with the water in the sink. They're just plain tired.
For me this means that I have to make Friday entertaining. Art projects, centers, fun stories galore. It's survival mode because if they're not entertained they're either gonna be grumpy or crazy, or both. I just try to get through the day so that I can make it to MY weekend plans (which probably included planning stuff for the next week but still).
But phew. I made it. Thank god for early release Fridays. Now just an assembly and a staff meeting stand between me and the weekend!
